Where do this stuff come from Friedrich Nietzsche??

                  The Genealogy of Morals questions the moral judgment based on the genealogy method. Friedrich Nietzsche uses history of different moral concept to form concepts of his own. Friedrich Nietzsche had a different concept when it comes  to the good/bad and good/evil. Slave Morality and master morality was the two terms he used in his essay to symbolize the good and bad. He believed that the strong, beautiful, healthy, and free people who classified their happiness as good should represent the good. The weak, ugly, sick, and unhealthy is considered as the bad because there weakness is unpleasant and undesirable. The slave revolt mortality empowers the morally empowered and believe that  they're beloved by God which makes them happy, powerful, noble and good. Well, the masters believe otherwise. The masters believe that being good, noble, powerful, and happy will make God love them. The slaves also can believe in the  beatitudes which means that God loves the weak, the poor, the meek, the pure in heart and he doesn't discriminate because you fit in a certain category.
                     Friedrich Nietzsche also explain the difference between the noble mode of valuation and slavish mode of valuation. The Noble Mode of valuation is the "yes saying", and the good determined first which means you think about the bad after the fact. Also you could say that the Noble mode of valuation basically tells you what to do. The slavish Mode of valuation is the "evil" determined and "good" is the opposite. It's the "no saying", reactive, and tells you what not to do. An example of a noble mode of valuation is taking advantage of the weak because you're stronger and bigger than them. A good example of the slavish mode of valuation is that you can't take advantage of the weak because they are weak and not able to defend themselves.
                 What does the term  Übermensch  mean?  Übermensch  is the super man or the over-man. This is the trans valuation of all values and the creator of all values. However, Nietzche used this term as an vision not a theory. He uses this term to say that we should strive as humans to be the creators of new values and  the solutions to problems. So this person that is a   Übermensch  realizes their full potential as a person who thinks for themselves and not to fit in with a crowd or group.
